MIDI photometry的稳定性:Circinus的情况
Stability of the MIDI photometry: the case of Circinus
摘要:
原则上,甚大望远镜阵列(VLTI)上的中红外干涉仪(MID-infrared Interferometric instrument)应始终测量特定源的相同校准总通量光谱,而与仪器设置和基线几何形状无关。然而,在圆规星系的数据中,有(a)2009年的通量值普遍偏移,(b)两个夜晚(2008-04-17和2009-04-14)短波长的总通量缓慢漂移。后者似乎取决于观察的小时角度。在本文件中,对这两种影响进行了更详细的分析和总结。我们的目标是找到一个解释这些变化的光度。
英文摘要:
In principle, the MID-infrared Interferometric instrument (MIDI) at the Very Large Telescope Array (VLTI) should always measure the same calibrated total flux spectrum for a specific source, independent of the instrument settings and the baseline geometry. In the data on the Circinus galaxy, however, there is (a) a general offset of the flux values for 2009 and (b) a slow drift of the total fluxes at short wavelengths during two nights (2008-04-17 and 2009-04-14). The latter seems to depend on the hour angle of the observation. In this document, a more detailed analysis of these two effects is carried out and summarised. The goal is to find an explanation for these variations in the photometry.
